A parking garage in downtown Vancouver is scheduled to be the first structure in North America to host a "paradigm shifting" 6,000-square-foot vertical farm.
The high-density "VertiCrop" farming structure, developed by Valcent Products, "will feature 12-foot-high stacks of growing trays on motorized
conveyors that will ferry plants around to be watered, to catch the sun
and, finally, to be harvested."
"The array will produce about the same amount of produce as 16 acres
of California fields, according to Christopher Ng, chief operating
officer of Valcent."
"Ng says the patented technology was developed to grow food naturally
in bustling urban environments and represents a paradigm shift in
farming and food production - providing up to 20 times the yield of
normal field crops, while using only 8% of the water typically required
for soil farming."
